And Maria Lettberg is a fantastic expressive pianist. Thanks for those folks at Crystal Classics for this enchanting release! Actually Lettberg's Scriabin recordings are worth an earful too ....

A Lark Ascending Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Latter off Spotify. I believe the orchestrations were completed posthumously. VC2 off latter Unfamiliar with Searle but enjoyed No. 2 - always had him down as a humourless 'only I really understand the true destiny of music and it certainly won't be fun' serialist; but the music here fits right in alongside the likes of Rawsthorne or Hindemith. The slow movement is not that far from Mahler. Maybe he gets tougher later - will have to explore.

A Lark Ascending Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Disc 7 of latter. Mainly voice and piano songs - old (sorry, I think I'm supposed to say 'sublime') recordings. This box is a bit of a grab bag of what Brilliant could put together but it's endlessly interesting. Music you don't come across often. From Spotify. Clearly the serial influence kicked in after number 2. I suspect this is one of those releases drawn from private recordings from the BBC by the Label owner - a bit thin in sound but perfectly listenable. Nice cover. Nice new recording. I'll be able to retire the Boult I've been listening to since the 70s. 1 + 2 Edited November 5, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Another listen. May have to seek out the CPO box that collects all the symphonies. The two Sally Beamish quartets off the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 1960 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Starting in reverse order with Symphony # 8 and the Grand Duo. I've had this on my watch list for well over a year. At one time the asking price was in the $40 range for a used copy. Scooped this last week for $11 and change. I think I made out well on this.

A Lark Ascending Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Just Symph 2 from the Butterworth; very Sibelius influenced like the other music of his I've listened to. The Wordsworth seems more connected to Walton, especially the very beautiful slow movement of the third (with a dash of Duke Bluebeard on the celesta towards the end). Just the Beamish quartets (again) off the first. Edited November 7, 2016 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
